¹¹ We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians, and opened wide our hearts to you.^(A)

¹² We are not withholding our affection from you, but you are withholding yours from us.

⁷ It is right^(A) for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart^(B) and, whether I am in chains^(C) or defending^(D) and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me.
